Seems the patch to correct Handspring connections may not be correctly in the 2.6.6-1.435smp kernel after all. Can not HotSYnc and get the following errors in log: Jun 25 10:56:03 node1 kernel: usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS: No valid connect info available Jun 25 10:56:03 node1 kernel: usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS: Number of ports: 2 Jun 25 10:56:03 node1 kernel: usbserial 1-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected Jun 25 10:56:03 node1 kernel: usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs) Jun 25 10:56:03 node1 kernel: usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for devfs) Jun 25 10:56:04 node1 kernel: visor ttyUSB0: Device lied about number of ports, please use a lower one.
